Hanxini "Cool Creek" Jade Oolong Tea - Spring 2016

Currently unavailable

We don't know when or if this item will be available.

This is one of the most interesting teas to come out this spring, and this is also the very first time we are offering it. The region Hanxini belongs to the great Alishan area. People will normally refer to it as Alishan in general, but since we feel that it is necessary to show the specific location of each tea, we decide to use is as part of its name.

Despite featuring the character “creek” (溪, Xi) in its name. Hanxini does not have any “creek” located nearby. Instead, this place obtained this name from the people who pioneered it around 30 years ago (1980s). When the first pioneer was meditating at this quiet mountain, he heard a strange sound resembling the sound “Hanxini” in the thin air. As a result, he decided to name this place he pioneered “Hanxini” which also has the meaning “fortunate and blessed”.

A mid-altitude jade oolong that really shined this spring due to the unique and challenging weather. Strong “winter essence” with thick sweet taste and penetrating aroma!
